The biggest lie told by “Islamic Scholars” is in regard to the preservation of the Qu’ran. There is no original complete Qu’ran from the 7th/8th Century with which to compare the modern day Qu’ran. Muslims believe that the Qu’ran we have today is an exact replica of the Qu’ran in the time of Mohammad (7th Century), and it is completely preserved in Heaven. We do not have a complete 7th Century Qu’ran that matches today's 1924 edition of the Hafs (706-796) AD Qu’ran. Today's Qu’ran was standardized in 1924 (Cairo edition), and It was based on oral transmission and not on any manuscripts. There are at least 30 different Arabic Qu’rans in circulation today. The main variants are:
1) Hafs Qu’ran, 95% General Muslim World.
2) Warsh Qu’ran 3% Algeria, Morocco
3) Qaloon Qu’ran, .7% Libya
4) Dooree Qu’ran, .3% Sudan +West Africa
5) Ibn Aamir Qu’ran, 1% Yemen.
The Hafs text is the more common and used in most areas of the Islamic world. Warsh is used mainly in West and North-West Africa as well as by the Zaydiya in Yemen.
c) In the Qu’ran, there are 51 words out of 77,439 in total in Warsh which have a different reading than Hafs when translated to the English language.
Hafs was considered to be a thief, liar, plagiarist, and was rejected by Sahih Al Bukhari
All “Islamic Scholars” are aware of these Qu’ran variants. Dr Shabir Ali has made reference to them on numerous occasions. So do they differ from each other, or do they agree with each other “word for word”??? Let us examine. The Hafs Qu’ran is not accepted by Algerian Muslims. So if we find just one word that differs between the Hafs and Warsh Korans, then one or the other, or both are corrupted.
Muslims claim that they have an original manuscript of the Qur’an dating back to or before 719 AD, but this is simply FALSE. They do not have a comprehensive manuscript, nor do they have even 97% of a manuscript that they claim. What they do have are 63 fragments of text that date back to around 719 AD, the largest of which contains only 50% of the Qur’an and the smallest being half a verse. These fragments compiled altogether make up 96% of the Qu’ran. On top of all that, 20 of these fragments have only been tentatively dated meaning they could very well be younger than Muslims claim, while 9 of them are certainly dated after 719 AD.
The number of verses in Hafs is 6236, while Warsh has only 6214 verses (other versions show 6616, 6217, 6204 verses, etc ).
For example:
Q 2:125 in Hafs is وَاتَّخِذوْا “WatakhIzu” (You shall take) / In Warsh it is وَاتَّخَذوْا “WatakhAzu” (They have taken/made).
In Q2:125 the subject being addressed is that of “Maqam Ibrahim”. One version gives a command/order, while the other states a historical fact/observation.
So I ask: Is Watakhizu and Watakazu the same exact word. ...No!!!
They may be “similar” in structure, but they are not exactly the same.
3:146 in Hafs is قاتل “Qatal” (Fought) / In Warsh it is ُقتل “Qutil” (Were Killed).
In 3:146 the difference is between a prophet and those with him being killed, while in the other the difference only means that they fought by his side.
surah 3:133 (wasaari'uu)(Hafs)
surah 3:133 (saari'uu)Warsh
Verse counts for Hafs are 6236, while Warsh records 6214 (other versions record 6616, 6217, 6204, and 6262).
Approx 63 fragments from within 100 years of Mohamed’s death exist, containing approx 96% of the “Complete Qu’ran”. There are none complete.
So was the Qu’ran “Preserved” Q 85:22 Q15:9 “Guarded” Q18:27 “Eternal”
Qu’ran 85:21-22] Indeed, it is a glorious Qu’ran. In a preserved master tablet.
So my question is: “WHICH VERSION (Manuscript) OF THE QUR'AN IS PRESERVED ON TABLET lN ALLAH'S HEAVEN”?🙃
